Marathon Weekend 2027

My good PoTs have fallen off. Should I use a 4:31 full or 2:24 half?

Easily the 4:31 full. It qualifies for B if you’re just running the half and C for the full/challenge, the 2:24 will be C for the half but not expected to be eligible for the full.

August 3 is a nice PoT extension but realistically I still probably can’t get it in time because there are fewer races in July and they will be hot. Womp womp.

I miss the October deadline for that reason. Anyone racing for time in the summer is stronger than me, that's for sure

I have a PoT for a half at 2:22:06. Based on the chart, that puts me in D, correct?

Yes, barely. It's close enough that I would consider submitting in case they adjust the thresholds but I'd expect to end up in D. Worth noting: they do not publish this information, which is unfortunate, because some people will submit POTs that don't fall in the threshold and if it's far enough outside that threshold they sometimes get penalized for it (one example: I've seen someone submit a 2:31 half, that absolutely won't convert to under 5:00 for a full and shouldn't be submitted). This one is close enough that in some conversion calculations it falls under 5:00 so IMO RD shouldn't penalize that.
